Introduction 2. Introduction Description The Strike Array 2 is an outdoor-ready audience blinder powered by two 100 W warm white LEDs housed in independently focusable pods. An emulated “amber shift” warms the color temperature of the light as it dims to deliver a classic tungsten look. Its variable PWM and high CRI make it ideal for broadcast applications.
